Create a Diagnostic Partition

Creating a diagnostic partition requires that you find a suitable partition using one of the query methods. You can then retrieve a creation specification, and perform the actual creation.
To create a diagnostic partition, use the following steps.
  1. Find a suitable partition by calling
    HostDiagnosticPartition.QueryAvailablePartition
     or
    HostDiagnosticPartition.QueryPartitionCreateOptions
    .
  2. Call
    HostDiagnosticPartition.CreateDiagnosticPartition
    , passing in a
    HostDiagnosticPartitionCreateSpec
    , which includes information about the diagnostic type, id, storage type, and so on.
On success, this method creates the partition and makes the partition the active partition if specified in the
active
 parameter. On failure, the diagnostic partition might exist, but will not be active even if the partition was supposed to be made active.
